Turtle Pumpkin Pie

I saw this recipe in a magazine and just had to try it. I altered the recipe a little to cut down on the sugar content. Check out the original at Kraft Recipes.Turtle Pumpkin Pie.1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar free caramel ice cream topping, divided1 graham cracker pie crust1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp chopped pecans, divided2 pkg. sugar free vanilla flavor instant pudding1 cup 2% cold milk1 can plain pumpkin (15 oz) (not pie mix)1 & 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice1 tub Extra Creamy Cool Whip (8 oz).Pour 1/4 cup caramel topping into crust and sprinkle with 1/2 cup nuts. Whisk pudding mixes, milk pumpkin and spices until blended. Stir in 1 and 1/2 cups cool whip. Spoon into crust. Refrigerate. Top with remaining cool whip, nuts and caramel before serving..Here's a picture before the additional topping was added.I didn't really measure the caramel sauce. I just layered it on the bottom of the pie and drizzled some more on the top. This would also be great as a frozen treat. Enjoy!

What about Salt?

One of the things that you'll notice about most of my recipes is that I don't use a lot of salt. I usually add the words 'salt to taste' on dishes that I would not normally add salt at all. I'm used to cooking for family members with health issues such as high blood pressure and diabetes. So, I do try to cut down on salt whenever possible. When you are using canned beans, you can reduce the sodium content by draining and rinsing them before using. Try experimenting with different spices such as garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, tumeric, and curry. You'll find you can add a lot of flavor without adding sodium.
